Chapter 314: The Destruction of Marudu City, the End of Goguryeo!
Early the next morning, the well-fed and well-fed Great Wei soldiers began to arrange their troops under the command of Cheng Yu.
Forty Kamui cannons were placed at the south gate, the largest in Marutsu Castle.
"Fire!"
Cheng Yu gave an order, and forty Shenwei cannons fired powerful iron solid projectiles one after another.
On the tower of Marudu Castle, the great general Zhao Chi was startled by the loud sound of the Shenwei cannon firing, and the Goguryeo defenders beside him were equally surprised.
In the next moment, a dense bombardment sounded on the southern gate and city walls of Marudu Castle, and the broken wood chips and scattered green bricks were all showing the defenders of Marudu Castle the power of Kamui cannons.
Cheng Yu used forty Shenwei cannons to bombard the south gate of Marudu City at the same time, in order to attack Marudu City in the shortest possible time.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, after the first launch of the Shenwei cannon, led the Great Wei infantry under their command to attack the south gate of Marudu City!
The siege battles in the past few days have made Cheng Yu more familiar with the power and performance of the Shenwei cannon, and with the defensive power of the gate of Marudu City, it can be collapsed with five salvos at most.
What Jiang Wei and Deng Ai had to do was to fill in a road leading to the south gate in the moat outside Marudu City as quickly as possible when the defenders of Marudu City were busy repairing the city gate, while the defenders of Marudu City were busy repairing the city gate.
"Archer prepare!"
After the general Zhao Chi ordered the people in the city to start repairing the south gate, he concentrated on dealing with the siege of the Great Wei infantry soldiers.
Seeing that the Great Wei infantry led by Jiang Wei and Deng Ai began to attack the southern gate of the pill capital, the general Zhao Chi prepared to let them taste the power of the defenders' archers.
In order to fill the moat leading to the southern city gate as soon as possible, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai did not use a safer but slow-moving shield cart this time, but equipped the Great Wei infantry with large shields to protect against the arrow attacks of the defenders of the pill capital.
After the second round of Shenwei cannon volleys, the Great Wei infantry had already entered the bow and arrow coverage of the defenders of Marudu City.
"Shoot the arrows!"
General Zhao Chi ordered loudly.
"Raise your shield!"
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai shouted loudly at the same time.
Then a black rain of arrows rose from the head of the pill capital city, and then flew towards the army formation of the Great Wei infantry with a scream.
Then came the dense sound of arrows striking the shield.
In the military formation of the Great Wei, although there was a big shield as a means of defense, under such a dense rain of arrows, there were still Great Wei soldiers with arrows in their limbs screaming miserably.
It's just that this can't stop the speed of the Great Wei soldiers' determination to move forward.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ......”
The third salvo of the Kamui cannon sounded again!
"General, the South City Gate has been bombarded by the catapults in the Great Wei Army!"
On the tower of the city, a general defending the city shouted loudly to the general Zhao Chi, this general defending the city said that the Shenwei cannon was a Great Wei catapult, but he knew that the catapult did not have such a good head and such great power.
"Then fill the gates! I'll wait and Da Wei to die! ”
The general Zhao Chi did not hesitate at all, and ordered directly to the general who was defending the city.
Then the general Zhao Chi ignored the filling of the city gate and continued to concentrate on dealing with the attack of the Great Wei infantry.
"Swap for armor-piercing arrows!"
Seeing that the arrows of the archers defending the city were not powerful enough to curb the advance of the Great Wei infantry soldiers, the general Zhao Chi ordered the archers to replace the arrows.
The Goguryeo archers, who had replaced their armor-piercing arrows, began to inflict real damage on the Great Wei infantry soldiers.
But at this time, the fourth salvo of the Kamui cannon sounded again!
The guards and Goguryeo people who were trying to fill the south gate to death were constantly injured and killed by the iron solid projectiles that broke through the city gate and rushed into the city, and gradually did not dare to approach the vicinity of the south gate easily.
The generals who had reported to the general Zhao Chi that the south city gate was about to collapse, and at this time, seeing the defenders and the people cowering, they couldn't help but pull out their long swords and shouted: "Continue to fill the city gate, the soldiers of the Great Wei will all die when they rush into the pill capital!" If there is a step back, cut !! ”
The defenders, non-commissioned officers and civilians who had been threatened with death, finally began to continue the work of filling in the south gate.
It's a pity that the defenders of Marudu City, including the general Zhao Chi, didn't expect that Great Wei would have such an artifact as a Shenwei cannon, so the preparations for filling the city gate were not completed at all.
The men and soldiers who used local materials continued to strengthen and fill the south gate with solid iron projectiles that flew from outside the city at some point.
The Great Wei soldiers, who had suffered thousands of casualties, also came to the moat at this time and began to throw sacks full of dirt into the moat.
General Zhao Chi couldn't help but smile when he saw that the Great Wei soldiers finally began to fill the moat with their lives.
"When the soldiers of Great Wei cross the moat, let the cavalry ambushed at the east gate drive them all into the moat!"
The general Zhao Chi ordered to one of the generals beside him.
"Marudu City, I will definitely let you know what it means to be impregnable!"
Looking at the Great Wei infantry who were desperately filling the moat outside the pill capital, the general Zhao Chi said in a low voice.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai also knew that the casualties of the Great Wei infantry soldiers had begun to rise gradually, but there were still a few Great Wei soldiers who were shot dead on the spot, and most of them were injured by arrows in their limbs and fell to the ground.
"Speed up! The South Gate is right in front of you! Enter the city first with a bounty of one hundred taels! ”
Jiang Wei shouted loudly at the Great Wei soldiers beside him at this time, and all the Great Wei soldiers who heard the bounty of one hundred taels were all red-eyed at this time!
Next, the Great Wei soldiers once again accelerated the speed of filling the moat.
Then the fifth salvo of Kamui cannon completely shattered the southern gate of Marudu Castle!
The Great Wei infantry led by Jiang Wei and Deng Ai finally came to the other side of the moat!
After the South City Gate was shattered by Shenwei cannons, in order to prevent the Great Wei infantry from breaking directly into the South City Gate, the cavalry that was originally scheduled to attack from the East Gate was urgently arranged to the South City Gate.
However, before the general Zhao Chi gave the order, the sixth salvo of the Shenwei cannon roared again!
The targets of this Kamui cannon salvo are the two castle towers of Marudu Castle!
Forty iron solid projectiles slammed into the tower of Marudu City, and Zhao Chi, the general who commanded here, was almost killed by an iron solid projectile.
After Jiang Wei and Deng Ai led the Great Wei infantry to gain a foothold on the other side of the moat, they saw the Shenwei cannon commanded by Cheng Yu covering their attack on the southern city gate.
"The soldiers of Great Wei, follow me into the capital of pills!"
Outside the south gate of Marudu City, Jiang Wei shouted, and then took the lead in entering Marudu City with Deng Ai beside him!
Zhao Chi, the great general who finally came to his senses, heard the shouts of the Great Wei soldiers from inside the south city gate, and couldn't help but sit down on the ground in frustration.
As a battle-hardened veteran, he knew that at this time, the city of Marudu had been broken, and the end of Goguryeo had arrived!
